Drawing
Ink is drawn above the notes on a page. Choose a tool on the Draw tab and drag on the page.
Tools
| Tool | Effect |
|---|---|
| Select | Selects, moves and resizes note containers (the default) |
| Type | A click on a text container edits it; a click on empty paper adds one |
| Pen | Freehand lines |
| Highlighter | Wide, translucent freehand lines. It switches the color to yellow the first time. |
| Eraser | Removes every stroke or shape you drag across |
| Rectangle, Ellipse, Line | Shapes from where you press to where you release. Hold Shift for a square, a circle or a 45° line. |
The status bar shows the active tool. Leaving the Draw tab returns to Select.
Color and thickness
Color picks the ink color from the swatches or as a hex value. Thickness sets the pen width, from 0.5 to 30 points (3 to start with). The highlighter is four times as wide as the pen, and at least 12 points.
How strokes are kept
A stroke is committed when you release the pointer, as one step to undo. Freehand strokes are simplified slightly when they're committed, keeping their shape while dropping redundant points. Erasing removes whole strokes.
Clear Ink removes every stroke and shape on the page after asking; it can be undone.
Ink shows in PNG exports. Markdown and HTML exports mention the number of strokes instead.
